LJ is still a little relevant

[sabotabby]

I'm consciously avoiding Facebook these days. I don't even want to look at it. I gather there are probably some features on it that I need to disable.

Facebook's effect on social networking reminds me of what happened with Chapters-Indigo in Canada. All of the small publishers and bookstores went out of business, and everyone had to go to Chindigo, and then Chindigo realized that it was much more profitable to sell a small number of popular books and lots of diaries and scented candles. So everyone ditched and started buying books on Amazon. I don't know what the SNS equivalent of Amazon is.

I'm avoiding G+ because nymwars have resulted in practically no one I know using it for anything other than posting about nymwars.

I'm trying to like Tumblr but there is not a convenient way to comment. It doesn't feel very social or interactive to just click a heart. And I'm not sure that there is a big audience for pictures of pulp sci-fi covers that look like they have dicks on them, which appears to be the theme I've fallen into.

So I'm glad LJ is still here.

And also because I love you guys.

I love you too!

Facebook is the ninth circle of hell and I am only on G+ in the hopes that if everyone gets on G+ it will start being relevant. And if they don't like my nym they can blow me. As for tumblr, no comments = no Pyth.

Though, I just figured out how to put comments on. I still don't care for it as a platform.

Do you want I should bring my harddrive today with a vast collection of torrented telly and movies?

PS: I love your sci-fi dick pictures



...

that could perhaps have been phrased better.

[sabotabby]

No, not really.

Oh, BTW, does your computer have a Firewire port? That's the only issue with my terabyte drive.

...I don't even know what one of them is

so probably not?

then again there are lots of computers in this house...

Okay, I'll bring it and we'll see if it works.
